The 2021 Porsche Taycan is the type of car that many fantasize about, but few will ever have. Its magnificent presentation, earth shattering performance, and cutting edge tech place it in a class of its own. But what happens when it goes up against the 2021 Rolls Royce Ghost, a beastly British car with unimaginable performance, a six figure price tag and presidential interior?
Design & Style
The Rolls Royce Ghost has powered operational doors with an exterior that is slightly curvy in some places and angular in others. It showcases all the hallmarks of English design, and the interior is fabulous, with a thick carpet, leather which is finely grained, metallic and wooden accents and a dashboard that becomes illuminated when Ghost mode is activated. It has tons of leg and head room and the seats will soothe and massage your back.
The Porsche Taycan is sleek, aerodynamic and sporty. It is curvier than the Rolls Royce with scallops along its flanks and stunning LEDs in front. The seats are wide with lots of shoulder room even for larger adults, and can be adjusted eighteen ways. Passengers will have access to high resolution displays and controls which are readily accessible.
Technology & Safety
EuroNCAP is so pleased with the Porsche Taycan that it gave a perfect five star rating. It has all the latest safety features, which include a camera with night vision and surround view, parking sensors, cruise control which is adaptive, lane control, multiple airbags and emergency automated brakes. The cabin is extremely opulent and passengers will be treated to 10.9 inch displays, climate control, leather upholstery, Apple CarPlay and an audio system from Burmester.
The Rolls Royce Ghost offers many of the same safety features found in the Taycan. This includes pedestrian detection, emergency automated brakes, cruise control that is adaptive, and lane management with departure notifications. Luxuries within its cabin include a Bespoke sound system with eighteen speakers, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, wifi and climate control.
Performance
The Rolls Royce Ghost is powered by a V12, 6.7 liter engine that can generate 563 horsepower, that allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 4.6 seconds. All-wheel drive comes standard and it has an automatic eight speed transmission. Those that purchase the Porsche Taycan Turbo S will get a 750 horsepower engine that can accelerate from zero to sixty in 2.5 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While the Porsche Taycan and Rolls Royce Ghost are evenly matched when it comes to luxury and safety features, the Taycan completely annihilates the Ghost when it comes to horsepower, acceleration time and top speed, which makes it the winner.
